I'd appreciate some views on the following. We have a heavily (imho) -ve cashflow investment portfolio, about 50k pa before tax, but I think it's justified on the basis of the CG it achieves. How would others run with what we have below, would you look to sell one and go for higher CF properties now, or do you think what we have, while we can continue to service it, is a reasonable setup. Limited info to go on I know, but hopefully some reactions!
We currently have 3 IP's, worth around 1.9mln, and shares of around 250k, total investment debt (inc. on shares etc.) of 1.2mln (50% fixed) and a net investment cashflow obligation of 4k per month before tax, 48kpa.
One IP is worth ca. 1mln and yields 2.2% before costs, actual of 3.4% on debt of 660k. It's in a HDT and we won't sell this as will eventually move into it in around 2 years.
Another is worth ca 600k and yields (on that value) 2.6%. It has debt of 140k and so is 11% yield actual and cf positive, but obviously low yield against market value. It is possible to sell this. Owned 50/50 in my and my wifes names.
Last is worth ca. 270k with yield before costs of 2.9%, actual 3.1% bf costs on debt of 250k. In same HDT as first property. Need to hold this for personal reasons and do expect very good CG on this in next few years, also the potential to split into 3 blocks, sell 2 and hold onto the house.
It's a good CG portfolio, having averaged above 15% pa over the last 5 years. I justify the 50k pa. holding costs to myself on the basis that the CG far outweighs the costs, plan to sell the middle one one day and convert into more CF +ve assets.
Comments highly appreciated.
